Valve's upcoming MOBA shooter Deadlock has received one of the biggest updates to date, which includes a big overhaul to the map that makes it a bit less complicated.

    As much as I would like it to succeed, I believe it will fail to lead the hero shooter genre.

      Hero shooter is a subgenre and no game will ever really lead it. Marvel Rivals, Valorant, and this are all hero shooters, but otherwise have practically nothing in common.

    Woah this was never fully “out” yet? I remember playing months ago, did not have any fun, abandoned it (with everyone else) and then assumed it had fallen off the face of the earth. Good for them for trying to improve it I guess? Unfortunately I don’t think it has legs.

      The game is in prealpha and keeps 15k players despite being buggy and having no content outside of the standard game mode and small character selection. I definitely think it has legs.

      In their defense, it was not meant to release to the public when it did, their closed beta just got way more attention then they had hoped for

    Interesting. Feels like it lowers the skill ceiling a bit, but hopefully it makes the game more accessible to everyone.
